Love Times Three
Today a Salt Lake County family put it all out there. I mean all of it. You see, they are a polygamous family and they want people to know the positive, functional side of polygamy. In fact, they wrote a book about it called "Love Times Three".

Not on the list of real Superheroes - Don Hudson as super reporter - lol
Today, is Monday, September 5th and we all know that is Labor Day. But did you know it is also National Shrink Day (I think this has to do with clothes, but maybe it is for therapists - couldn't find good information - just the name. It is also Be Late For Something Day - I participate in that once a week. It's Jesse James's Birthday - not the guy who broke Sandra Bullock's heart - but the notorious bad guy from the 1800s. By the way JJ was born September 5,1847. Speaking of birthdays apparently it is the Marvel Superheroes Birthday. But the best days are about food. It is Waffle House Day and Week - Debuted in 1955. And it is National Cheese Pizza Day. Some calendars have this tomorrow, but enough of them had it today to include it on the list. Anyone hungry?

I feel horrible for her and I admire her. I can't believe the things that happened to Elizabeth Smart. I hear the testimony. I read the testimony. I just shake my head in disbelief. Tears have started to come to my eyes at times. And at other times - I have felt a father's rage.

I wonder what Shaun White, Shani Davis, Bode Miller or Lindsey Vonn think about being compared to a bunch of "Chad Ochocincos." I imagine they would resent being called "jerks".

A few days ago, I attended a dinner, gala and fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of South Valley. In many ways it was like dozens of other dinners and fundraisers I have attended. But in one way it was very different. I saw genuine care and concern and a real desire to help out.
